    There was no retribution in the meme. Only that the person would be remembered for their lack of action.

    What would you think of me if I saw your house catch fire and instead of calling the fire department, I watched your pets burn to death?

        It’s not false. Through inaction they allowed something bad to happen. You want to have it both ways.

        Not a very good hypothetical as you can actually do something there

        As if you can’t vote?

        Even if you are in solid Blue State, an overwhelming majority against Trump will send a message to the next fascist attempt.

            If you are in a Blue State, it’s only Blue because others voted.

            Your attitude is, “Someone else will call the fire department. I’ll stand here and watch the house burn.”

                But someone hasn’t called the fire department. The election is in November. You are going to stand around watching the fire burn assuming your neighbors will call for you.

                    “Sure, let’s just pretend we don’t have numbers and historic data on how the state will vote”

                    Translation:

                    “My neighbors have always called the firefighters in the past so I’ll do nothing but watch the fire burn.”

                    I already voted, so this “you are doing x” shit ain’t gonna work on me

                    Then why are you arguing about not needing to vote!

                    if they can’t manage

                    Blaming firefighters for not being able to stop a fire when you won’t even call them. That’s a new one. I bet you blame the kids Trump raped on Epstein’s Island for not fighting back too.
